Darina, a motivated influencer in the making.
Hollywood Influence Mag not only amplifies the voices of established talent but also provides young and unknown motivated artists an opportunity to express themselves through our competition.
We encourage freedom of expression from younger and newer voices. Through this contest, we aim to shed light on the negative impact that certain prominent influencers can have on adolescents. The next generation of influencers will shape the future of social media, and we aspire to guide them toward a more positive direction.

What Instagram profiles are you passionate about?
I’m drawn to profiles featuring interesting places around the world, beautiful restaurants, and nature, without excessive advertising. I also appreciate profiles that share personal moments with their audience.
Do you feel pressure from social media? Are they pushing you towards plastic surgery?
Actually, yes! A significant number of girls and women on Instagram have undergone plastic surgery procedures. There’s this notion of changing oneself to achieve the perfect look. In their posts, their faces appear flawless without any imperfections, often enhanced with numerous filters. Since I haven’t undergone any procedures, I sometimes wonder if I should get a rhinoplasty or lip enhancement to enhance my beauty. I was starting to find flaws in myself, but thanks to your question, I’ve had a change of heart… I’ve come to realize that plastic surgery is becoming the new standard of beauty in Bulgaria, but perhaps one day, true beauty will be appreciated in its natural form.
Due to this pressure, do you have friends who have already undergone this type of surgery?
Yes, I have friends and relatives who have undergone such procedures. In fact, many of them opt for lip injections because revising the nose or breasts is too costly. The average age for girls in Bulgaria to get tattoos or injections is 16-17 years old. The primary reason is the influence of social media, but also because a significant portion of the population in the country has undergone cosmetic surgery. It’s considered unusual for someone not to have had cosmetic enhancements.
Your dreams?
I dream of succeeding not only in the fashion world but also as an influencer. Additionally, I’ve considered pursuing something in the music industry. Oh, and I would love to see more animals find homes and get off the streets…
What kind of brands would you like to collaborate with?
I like cosmetics, jewelry, and clothing brands.
